Lately, wherever you go around Adelaide, you bump into Einstein and his bike.
I have no idea who's behind this, but it sure put a smile on my face whenever, wherever I spot him again.

Northern Lights @ Adelaide
We traveled to the city yesterday to see it painted and coloured with light as part of Adelaide Festival.
It was so magical and magnificent!
I don't know how much of it you can see in the photographs if you don't know the buildings in their day-to-day appearance, but let me tell you - it is amazing work of lights!
As part of the festival, For the next 38 nights, The historic architectural icons on Adelaide's North Terrace; The State Library of South Australia, the South Australian Museum, the Art Gallery of South Australia, Elder Hall and many others take the spotlight from dusk until 1.00am.
The internationally acclaimed Electric Canvas, uses digital software and giant projectors to turn Colonel Light's 19th century vision into a 21st century vision in light.
Don't miss it if you're around!

Sala Festival Part 2
With the Festival spread over 400 locations - galleries, cafes, hotels, shopping centers etc., it is not that easy to escape it.
I think it is the greatest art initiative I have ever came across as it brings art to the street and makes it available to everyone everywhere (if you lucky enough to live in South Australia!)
On Tuesday, the weather was fine and sunny so we went out for a walk on Maggil Rd. to visit a small selection of galleries.
Maggil rd. is a fantastic location when you're in the mood for art.
It is full of galleries (7 of them are participating in the festival but there are many others), antique shops, design and special furniture stores along with cute cafes and small eateries to accompany you in your travel.
We visited 3 galleries and I enjoyed it every bit. It was all both extraordinarily good and so interesting.
Little M. felt very arti and was very patient so I could spent as much time as I'd like admiring the works. I actually think she enjoyed it just as well!
I thought I would give you a glimpse of what we saw so you can feel part of the festival yourself!
If you read this and live around here, be sure to visit the Sala Festival's web site, check your local area for the festival's varied locations and go out to catch some art!
Works shown here are of Militjari Pumani @ AP bond Art Dealer, Ropar Dennis @ Ropar Gallery, Rohan Fraser, Marina Strocchi, Thom Buchanan and Peter Drew @ Gallery 139 .......more on my Flickr

Sala Festival Part 1
South Australia is known to be the Festival State. Since we arrived here Adelaide held the Cabaret Festival, The Beethoven Festival, the Festival of Ideas and probably many others we missed.
But this time it is the Sala Art Festival and, as they promote it, is "In your backyard, within your streets, throughout your neighbourhood across every corner of South Australia!", so there's no chance we will miss it out.
Little M. and myself plan a short tour tomorrow (hopefully no rain!) to visit a couple of galleries along the Parade and Magill rd.
More reporting tomorrow!
In the meantime enjoy some picks from the festival's web catalog.
